Six homosexuals arrested in Benin

SIX suspected homosexuals have been arrested by policemen from the office of  the Zone 5 Police Headquarters in Benin. Assistant Inspector of Police in charge of the zone, Alhaji
Musa Daura who made the disclosure yesterday while addressing journalists, said the arrest was carried out by operatives of the Zonal Anti-Vice Section, acting on credible information.


He gave the names of the suspects as Festus Osagiede, male (24); Hyacinth Vincent Omahanrebho, male (20); Itama Omon, male (25); Onwuka Prince, male (48); Monye Samuel Chukwuka, male (23); and Osadebe Kelvin, male (26).

He disclosed that five of the suspects were apprehended at their hide out along No. 12 Ikpoba Slope, while Osadebe Kelvin was later picked up somewhere behind Benson Idahosa University on May 11 at about 06.00 hours while trying to escape out of Benin City. He said that the suspects have confessed to be homosexuals and have carnal knowledge of each other on several occasions in their hide out.


According to him, preliminary investigation conducted into the matter, revealed that the suspects have been committing the offence since 2006. “The leader of the gang and principal suspect, Festus Osagiede first committed the crime with the third suspect, Itama Omon in 2006 when both attended a night club in Benin City.

Since then, they have been committing the crime with each other at their hideout.
